There have always been murderous sociopaths- getting rid of governments will not change that.
It will just give them more scope.
We have learned that much surely.
Mao was responsible for much that may be viewed through western eyes as wrong, but so can Napoleon, or Stalin, or many of the US Opium Traders who profited from the Opium Trade and even Queen Victoria who refused to act against it.
There have always been sociopaths but removing government will not fix that.
Yes it will. Removing the government forces the sociopaths to get real jobs. Your system is what gives the murderous psychopaths infinite power. They have no power in a free market because no one would voluntarily give them money to kill random innocents. That's an industry that relies 95% on taxation.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

For anyone who wants to seize your wealth when you do not have a government to provide rule of law.
The sociopaths are gonna make a meal of you.

My wealth is in Bitcoin. It's unseizable.

A targeted attack on an organized crime ring is much easier to pull off than going door to door torturing individual holders. It's not relevant to a crackdown on mass adoption. You just assume that the state will find some way to win every encounter because it's your God.

You still rely upon the rule of law and multiple infrastructures that it enables- provided by the nation state- you would not survive a week without them.
